Clark State CyberSecurity Students Attend NSF Advanced Technical Education ConferenceTwo Clark State Community College CyberSecurity Students were sponsored to attend the 2017 National Science Foundation Advanced Technical Education conference in Washington D.C. Jon Becker and Anthony Trevino presented the results of their internship project which required them to evaluate high performance computing virtual machines to benchmark performance and security characteristics. The research culminated in a recommendation which identified the most efficient and secure Linux OSs to use in Indiana University's distributed high performance computing environment.

Clark State Student Has Poster Accepted at ConferenceClark State student Jonathan Becker had his poster submission "Improving Research Cloud Virtual Machine Security with Ansible Playbooks" accepted at PEARC17 (Practice & Experience in Advanced Research Computing).

2017 Technology First Leadership Award “Award of Excellence – Student Project” NomineeA Clark State Community College Intern/Extern team, sponsored by a National Science Foundation grant, conducted a ten-week research study that, based on real data from US domestic terrorists (cyber and non-cyber), resulted in analysis and a predictive statistical model.

Data from over 40 domestic terrorists was collected using online resources. These individuals were known to commit acts of espionage, subversion, treason, spying, sabotage or terrorism. Using this data, computations and data analysis was conducted to determine if there is a connection between their biographical and demographical characteristics and the crime committed. The research team then created a predictive analysis tool that scored the likelihood of a potential terrorist. The results demonstrated correlations among some variables to violence, cyber and types of attacks. These correlations implied demographic implications for terrorist identification.
